th Isis 4-D
In the image above, there are a few elements that pop out to me. I'll make this quick. Leslie MANN is seen at the Sync with a Thoth-brush while Paul Rudd is in the background on a waterdoor throne with a (emerald) Tablet-type computer. The ISIS in the title sticks out like a sore thumb. So we have Thoth and Isis (both lunar deities) at corresponding water portals (water, of course, being associated with the moon through the tides). The poster has a very Lunar color scheme, consisting mostly of shades of gray. The 40/4D lends extradimensional (godlike) qualities to the whole thing. Now, add to that the reflective, lunar aspect of the Mirror which composes the majority of the picture.
We could also see a relation to the Moon tarot card, with the twin Dogs as being Leslie and her reflection, and Paul as the crayfish emerging from the water (and the mirror as the moon of course). The towers from the card could be seen as the two doors visible in the poster.
I'd also like to add that the Canines in the Moon tarot correspond to the Canines in Leslie's mouth, her teeth highlighted by the thoth brush.

Leslie Mann redeems Paul Rudd from the Curse of the Law (the King is in a world of shit) by taking away his Tablet. Subject of conversation is how she plans to kill her husband (ego death).
I just did a post on
"Nightmare on Elm Street 4"
and realized there was a scene
that seemed to mirror (pun intended)
the "This is 40" poster;

If you scroll down in the post to the
"This is 40" poster,the scene in
"Nightmare 4" is directly above it,
where Andras Jones is on the toilet
and Tuesday Knight is looking into a mirror
at his reflection.
It is a dream sequence where Andras'
character is about to fight Freddy
and lose big-time.
The girl in the mirror is already dead,too.
Dreamland of the Dead, eh?
